An Open Sky

By Surbhi Dewan with 6.7

drama · Short Films · hindi

Contrary to a sense of optimism or vast spaces invoked by the title, the film locates itself in the confined reality of a locked down world. The protagonist, isolated inside her small apartment, only has a faceless companion by her side, her loyal friend Sambhav, who we never see on screen.

As we go deeper and deeper into this bond shared between the two, a world of past trauma, loss, isolation and its effects on mental health, a crucial revelation about Sambhav, and lastly, the strength within, is portrayed for the viewer. There is also the endeavor to explore ideas of hope and despair, ensconcing themselves within the narrative, as it eventually ties them all with the title.
